Intended Application 

Intended Application of the Gas Analyzer 

The gas analyzer is designed for continuous measurement of the 

concentration of individual components in gases or vapors. 

Any other use is not as specified. 

The specified use also includes taking note of this operator's manual. 

The gas analyzer may not be used for the measurement of ignitable 

gas/air or gas/oxygen mixtures. 

The gas analyzer version with stainless steel gas lines and gas 

connections (EL3020 and EL3040 models) may be used for the 

measurement of flammable gases1

 and vapors in a non-hazardous 

environment, The special requirements for the measurement of 

flammable gases (see page 39) must be complied with. The oxygen 

sensor and the modules of the integrated gas feed (Option "Integrated 

Gas Feed" – only in the EL3020 model, not with Limas23, ZO23, 

Fidas24) may not be used for the measurement of flammable gases. 

The explosion-proof version of the gas analyzer with degree of protection 

II 3G (see page 40) (EL3040 model) may be used for the measurement 

of non-flammable gases and vapors in a hazardous environment. 

NOTE 

The version for the measurement of flammable gases and vapors and the 

explosion-proof version with degree of protection II 3G are different 

versions of the gas analyzer and designed for different applications.
